Drawing on 30-plus years of experience as educators, Davis and Hill present a guide for teachers of grades three to eight to the organization of a successful yearlong writing workshop. Coverage includes developing goals for effective teaching, learning, and writing; structuring and organizing daily writing workshops and writing work across the year; assembling the tools to enable students to get organized and become reflective about their own work; designing targeted mini lessons; effective writing conferences; engaging students in discussion of quality writing; and learning from samples of student work.
